Memorial Day
Holidays, holidays, holidays.
As I get older they seem to mean more to me than just a time to play and live outside our normal daily rules.
Memorial day holds a bit of bitter for me as we buried my dad on a Memorial day past. It is also a sweet time though in that being a Holiday there is normally some time to consider and remember Dad. He was a soldier but in peacetime and only for the minimum time period. Soon after leaving the Army he went to work for Southern Pacific Railroad and worked there until he retired. He had ulcers but always took vacation for his operations at the company hospital as his attendance record was not to be messed with. He would have been happy that he was buried on a holiday so no one had an excuse to miss work. One of those operations would now be considered a gastric sleeve. This meant that he ate by the rules I now eat by for my RNY.
I cheated a bit this holiday but not much and was very suprised to see the scales at 300 this morning when I expected 303 or even 305. I have laid in a supply of 100 calorie packages of meat and string cheese for this week. How did everyone else do?
